The observation that the continents fit together like puzzle pieces, and may once have been connected, led Alfred Wegener to propose a theory in 1910 called
continental plowing
continental drift
wandering continents
shape matching of continents
The essence of Wegener's idea was sound, based on some scientific observations. Which of the following supported his theory?
Matching fossil plant remains found on two different continents
Matching reptile remains found on two different continents
nearly identical sedimentary rock types of same age in widely separated locations
all of the above
Scientists found that the continents were moving apart from each other due to magma rising out of mid-ocean ridges, and they called this
sea floor spreading
sea floor rising
changing sea floor
underwater volcanos
The Earth's continents were once connected in one giant continent called
Eurasia
Indo-Australia
Pangaea
Pacifica
The Earth's crust is divided into 7 major plates, which include all of the continents. Along which two plates do we see major earthquake activity?
Pacific and North/South American
Pacific and Eurasian/Indian
South American and African
A and B both
Wegener's old theory, called sea floor spreading, was found too simplistic because it did not explain how the continents would move. It was replaced by a theory called
plate tectonics
crustal forces
paleomagnetism
paleomagnetism
Plate tectonics is our current theory of how the movement of continental masses relates to the movement of ocean basins. This movement explains many phenomena, such as
earthquakes
volcanoes
weather patterns
all of the above
Plate margins are places where much activity occurs. Earthquakes occur, for example, along convergent margins, where plates are
moving apart
sliding past each other
colliding
Volcanoes occur in similar locations to earthquakes, and are common along plate boundaries. Sixty percent of volcanoes occur surrounding the Pacific Ocean, a location called
"the hot zone"
"the Ring of Fire"
"the Volcano Zone"
" the fire"
Plate tectonics can also be the direct cause of forming
lakes
stream
mountains
oceans
Plate tectonics, or the movement of pieces of Earth's crust, is thought to be caused b
volcanoes
earthquakes
convection currents in Earth's mantle
hot spots
Ovulation typically occurs on what day of the cycle?

true
false
The lining of the uterus starts to grow thicker after
Luteal

Which hormones stimulates the build up of the endrometrium?
FSH
LH
Estrogen
Progesteron
The source of FSH in the body is…
Ovary

Pituay Gland
Pineal Gland
Which hormone signals ovulation?

Inhibin
Estrogen
What does ovulation mean?
A sperm is released
The lining of the uterus breaks down
Menstruation occurs

Where does implantation of the fertilized egg usually take place?
